Chapter 117: Granny Went Missing
Huo Yao hailed a cab for herself and headed to the hospital right after school.
But the moment she opened the hospital ward door, she found the room to be empty. Even the blankets were neatly folded on the bed. Her expression instantly altered.
Huo Yao was stunned. She recalled the old lady’s odd behavior yesterday before she left and felt anxious. She quickly retrieved her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
[Sorry, the number you have dialed is unreachable...]
Huo Yao inhaled deeply. She hung up and put her phone away before walking out.
At the nurses’ station.
“Excuse me. Where has Yang Qiuhua from room 503 gone?” asked Huo Yao as she looked at the nurse.
Huo Yao sounded calm and did not seem too anxious.
The nurse on duty was startled by Huo Yao’s beauty. But she gathered her thoughts and hurriedly flipped through the patient records before replying. “Oh, Old Madam Yang completed her discharge formalities this morning.”
Huo Yao’s brows furrowed even more tightly. She thanked the nurse before striding towards the lift without hesitation.
The nurse shook her head while she looked at Huo Yao’s receding back as she walked away.
Huo Yao was the prettiest girl the nurse had ever seen in her life and was far more stunning than many female celebrities.
“Cui, what are you looking at?” asked another nurse who had just returned to the nurses’ station, only to see her colleague blanking out.
Huo Yao had already gotten into the lift, so the other nurse failed to see her.
Cui was still reveling in Huo Yao’s beauty but veered her eyes away finally to lament. “I just saw a gorgeous young lady. Her stunning good looks left my heart palpitating.”
“PFFFT. Are you for real? Is she that pretty?” asked the other nurse as she laughed.
She slowly picked up a glass of water and took a couple of sips.
But a thought crossed her mind, and she continued. “Speaking of good looks, Old Madam Yang from room 503, who got discharged this morning, has a gorgeous granddaughter. You might not have seen her since you work the dayshift. Now that you mention it, I recall I have her picture. Let me show you...”
The nurse swiped her phone. She found a photo she had secretly taken and continued. “See, isn’t she beautiful? Although it’s just her profile, doesn’t she look absolutely photogenic?”
This nurse had met Huo Yao before. Huo Yao was gorgeous, had a cool charm, and a polite demeanor, so she secretly took pictures of her each time she visited and even paid Old Madam Yang extra attention, because of this.
Cui glanced at the photo and said, “Yes, that’s the lady I just bumped into.”
The nurse’s expression instantly turned dark as she anxiously asked. “Oh, where is she?”
Cui was startled. She subconsciously raised her hand and pointed to the lift door and replied. “She just got into the lift when you came back.”
“Oh no! Why didn’t you tell me? Old Madam Yang told me to pass something to her,” said the nurse in a nervous tone as she slapped her forehead.
Cui touched the tip of her nose and replied, “You didn’t tell me about it... But she couldn’t have gone far. Hurry up and go after her.”
The nurse nodded. She swiftly put her phone back into her pocket before taking a letter from inside a drawer and running towards the lift anxiously.
